When will people learn that?
Java!=JavaScript

lol not their fault perhaps never, as far as Java handle back-end Big task they won't know

But seriously how could their names be so similar and ironically javascript is a scripting language unlike java.

more like a computer and a cat.

I think more like football & football depending on what side of the pond you're at.

Or in this case: javascript !== java

Was posten before ;)

So the 'Guy' asking has more than 7000 reputation and don't know this. Impossible.

@tomabolt since 2008...

Now with Electron gaining popularity, I guess Java is much more == JavaScript!

They are quite similar in a alternate universe where they are similar ...

Ok then. But what's similar between Java and JavaScript? Cuz you have Java + Script. Two words! Car + pet are two not words. Oh wait. They are. Shit. So like javascript just had the name? Fuck. Bad naming from devs. We couldn't name carpet or car back then... but now we could have chosen different name for "JavaScript". Fuck!

@SweetHuman what I've heard, it's named this way, because at the time JavaScript was released, Java was a very popular programming language and they thought they could get a bit of the popularity from Java.

@birkenspanner oh wow

Google should have a dictionary entry that says "The most commonly asked question in computer science" whenever someone searches that

the difference is that java is good and javascript is the attached image.

that answer is satire
